What's next Guys?

Posted by: markcas on 16 May 2003

Thinking of my next upgrade. What upgrade do you think will give me the best overall improvement in sound if I can only upgrade one component?

Currently: CDS2 / XPS, 82, Supercap, 180, Shahinian Arc’s.

1: Sell the 82 and get a 52 or 282?
2: Sell the 180 and get 135’s or a new 250?
3: Sell the XPS and get an XPS2?
4: Some other suggestion.

Cheers,

Mark.

Go for it! You can buy and sell an old 52 for the same money if you're smart so you've nothing to lose. In any case, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Just do the nac52, I've made a few upgrades in the last year and would say I'm critical and demand VFM/Bang for the Buck, the 52 was better than the supercaps and 250s - it is as they say a no brainer

Be wary though - I find the 52 sounds awesome from cold, then goes through a mental warm-up cycle which can last weeks, and can be quite disconcerting

This topic has got me seriously interested in a 52/Super to replace my 82/Hi. What are typical used prices for the 52/Super combination, and is there any point in getting a 52 and a new Supercap?
